Скачать или смотреть White Christmas - Biggest singles chart success ever? Top 5 Songs 1900-1999

White Christmas is said to be the best-selling single ever. Is this reflected in chart success as well? We look at the top 5 songs of each decade and the total top 5 since 1900.

How does White Christmas compare to the Hey Jude (The Beatles), Satisfaction (The Rolling Stones), Judy Garland (Over the Rainbow), the legendary Rock Around the Clock and later hits like Bryan Adams' Everything I Do I Do it For You or Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On? Where are Pink Floyd, Abba and the Bee Gees in comparison?

Many thanks for the great and arduous work done there!

For charts from 2000 (2010) onwards, the website http://chart2000.com/ is recommended. As far as the data show up to now, the top 5 don't change compared to songs released until 1999.
